Jalen McMillan placed on injured reserve for second time this season
Summary

Jalen McMillan, the former Washington Huskies wide receiver, has been placed on injured reserve by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This marks the second time in his career he has been sidelined due to injuries. After injuries limited him to just four games in 2025, he has now suffered a sprained PCL after appearing in two games in 2026. McMillan initially faced knee issues after a training camp collision and is expected to miss six to eight weeks. His absence comes as the Buccaneers struggle with a lackluster passing game, currently ranked 26th in the NFL, and will also miss quarterback Baker Mayfield for several weeks due to a dislocated thumb.
